Oct. 13, 1993 Ageing increases dependence (Continued from page 14) "In moving, they lost their most important protective support system which is now provided by agencies like us," Fleming said. "At one time, families would step in and stop abuse â€" but not now." He noted the three stages of retirement that eventfhally lead to victimization requiring police and social services, When first released from the workaday world, the newly retired require very few serâ€" vices, if any. They are still active, energetic and bent on having a good time. But with age, mobility is lessâ€" ened. Older seniors tend to stay home more and may need some serâ€" vices â€" painting a house, home repairs, for example â€" that once were provided by the family but now are most likely to come from agencies. _ When the retired person has reached about 80, his or her depenâ€" BuckEts OF SnRrimp Shrimpfest hosted annually by the Oakville Optimist Club was a great success, says Don MacDonald, shown in the kitchen with Klaus Mirlach, culinary teacher from General Wolfe High School, which catered the event held Sept. 24th at Le Dome. Shrimpfest, held for about 10 years, was attended by 442 people (460 tickets were sold), who ate their way through some 500 pounds of shrimp. The club sold some 340 pounds of shrimp, and there are still a number of 5 Ib. boxes available for $40 each. Shrimpfest raised about $6,500 for clubâ€"funded endeavors including the Respect for Law Camp, and its annual music and art contests.

Before that number is reached, he said all agencies servicing the elderâ€" ly must work together to come up with new ways of answering their calls. dence grows to the point that many people are now involved in dayâ€"toâ€" day services. One way of circumventing Critical Mass is through prevention, he said. This entails educating the elderly as well as social agencies educating themselves about the elderly. It also means adopting a new perspective and forming "Level 3 is a very serious probâ€" lem for us because it involves ‘Critical Mass®‘," he said. STRAIN ON SERVICES PAINTINGS FINE ART CRAFTS alliances between all agencies involved with the elderly. Members in this alliance should respect each others‘ limitations as well as their ability to contribute to solutions. And this often involves a change of perspective. For instance, Fleming said the police in his unit regarded social workers as little girls with pigtails out doing good, a picture he graphically detailed on a drawing board. That perspective has changed over the years. We realized you were as capaâ€" ble as we are and more capable in some areas where we had no experâ€" tise," he said. But he agreed with one woman in the audience who suggested legâ€" islation should be enacted to make it illegal not to report elder abuse, just as the reporting of child abuse is in Canada. Although people in the audience thought financial control or neglect probably topped the list of abuses suffered by the elderly, Fleming said the type most often reported to his unit pertained to spousal abuse, followed by abuse by home health care workers. This change of legislation may very well find its roots in the Halton police service which, through its programs, has formed the vanguard for the protection of its elderly citiâ€" zens.
